I assumed this was a faked dorm shot because of the huge number of ballet shoes hanging behind her. Imagine the smell. And ballet shoes last fairly well unless you're professional so why are there so many? They all look like toe shoes too. That's a lot.

But I've come to love zee 'self shot', replete with background. It's the only real way anyone has to reveal how they really live. It's an essential part of the whole mystique. The barely hidden 2 year old behind you when you're shooting a 'booty shot' for your Bf's. The miserably cramped parents bathroom, never redecorated from the 60's where you chose to profile your awesome teeny boobs for the world to see. Marvelous stuff, and really hard to fake overall. The pro posed stuff is almost instantly recognizable now, but it's an entirely different ethos & approach. Now there's 1000's of these 'collections' out there. Truly astounding & amazing, and a sociological boom, if only someone might look at what's behind them! But fascinating just the same. Especially the strange underworld of the younger (LEGAL!) set.
